Why do particles with different masses have the same kinetic energy when at the same temperature?

Because Kinetic energy depends on temperature and not mass

Explanation:

Average kinetic energy is defined as the average of the kinetic energies of all the particles present in a system. It is determined by the equation:

where K.E = Kinetic energy

R= gas constant

T= temperature in kelvin

It is visible that kinetic energy is dependent on the temperature of the system and not on the mass of the system. Thus particles with different masses have the same kinetic energy when at the same temperature

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml

"record the time to complete a chemical reaction" would most likely be part of a lab procedure.
